KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Umbrella Groups of Churches (JUGC) is decrying what it says is the shameful treatment of the body of Latoya Bulgin by lawmen over the weekend after she was shot and killed by police.
In a statement on Monday, the organisation noted that it was deeply grieved by the fatal police shooting, which took place in Granville, St James on Sunday citing security footage reportedly of the incident which has been circulating online.
“What the footage appears to show is not merely a procedural failure; it is a desecration. No human being, made in the image of God, should ever be handled in that manner,” the council said.
